Because as a dead body decomposes, the whole body starts to look withered, aged, wrinkly, etc, as well as turning grey. If the body is wanted for burial, and they want to do an open-casket funeral, they will paint the skin to look as life-like as possible. This includes painting the fingernails. For a woman this means they paint them a color. for a man, they pain them to look natural (a light pinkish tan tone)
